Whitney Mitchell, a freshman Agricultural Education major from Nashville, knows why Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College is Georgia’s State College of Choice. 
     “ABAC is a great place, I truly feel that it is my home away from home,” Mitchell said. “ABAC has so much to offer the students, and I feel the best way to stay on top of my academics is to get involved in the various campus activities.”

    She served as a State FFA Vice-President for the Georgia FFA Association from April 2008 until just a few months ago.  

    Throughout her year of service, Mitchell has represented over 28,000 FFA members in the State of Georgia.  Some of her responsibilities include serving as a delegate at the National FFA Convention, hosting several in-state conferences for FFA members to learn about leadership and FFA, and providing key assistance at the State FFA Convention.

    “The entire campus of ABAC is beautiful, especially the residence halls,” Mitchell said. “I think living on campus is a great opportunity to meet new people, my three roommates have become my new best friends, and I had never met them before moving into ABAC Place.”  

    Mitchell is also a member of the Collegiate FFA and Team Sunshine intramural softball team. She enjoys playing softball and hanging out with her roommates in the ABAC place Apartments.

She plans to transfer to the UGA Tifton campus to complete her degree in Agricultural Education so she can teach high school Agriculture somewhere in south Georgia.
